Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges #057

Hello and welcome I am Karen Farquhar from Australia and thank you for joining me today for Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge #057. Today's challenge has the theme 'Fancy Fold'. How exciting! I love fancy fold cards. I always try to create a fancy fold card for my grandchildren but today I have created a Christmas card.

I love fancy fold cards. I always try to create a fancy fold birthday card for my grandchildren but today I have created a Christmas card.

The first time I saw the Yummy Christmas Stamp Set I thought ahh a pop-up card.

This card is very easy to assemble. After scoring and folding your card pace a pencil mark at the centre point. Then 2.5cm. or 1" from that centre point cut down 2 cm or 3/4". Repeat this on the opposite side of the centre point. Fold this section outwards instead of inwards and you have created your platform to which you adhere your gingerbread house. Don't go too close to the bottom fold when adhering your little house or it will catch when you close the card.

I have also created some gingerbread house treat boxes with this set. Again very easy.

Stamp out the Gingerbread House image from the stamp set. I used blends pens to colour mine. Make a box by cutting a piece of cardstock 5" x 41/2". Score 5" side at 11/2" and 31/2" turn and score 41/2"side at 11/2" and 3". Trim to score lines on 5" sides to form tabs, then fold to form a box. Use the Cuckoo Clock Dies from the Annual Catalogue to cut the Gingerbread house image and 2 cardstock die cuts. Adhere one die cut cardstock piece to the back of the stamped image and adhere to front of box adhere remaining die cut to back of box. Fill with treats. I will probably refill mine and wrap in cellophane with a ribbon and greeting tag attached. I haven't done this so far as I didn't think they would photograph very well.

Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges Challenge #054

Hello and welcome I am Karen Farquhar from Australia and thank you for joining me today for Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge #054. Today's challenge is a Die Cutting challenge.

Well die cutting isn't really a challenge for me as I die cut on most of my work. I just love die cutting so my challenge was to do something I thought would be a little different. For this reason I have designed some shaker gift tags using the Snow Scenes Dies, the Frosted Frames Dies, the the Stitched Rectangle Dies and the Delightful Tag Topper Punch.

To make these I cut 2 pieces of Whisper White Cardstock for each tag at 5cm width and then punched their tops with the Tag Topper Punch. I then ran my 2 strips of cardstock through my die cutting machine using a Stitched Rectangle Die. I sandwiched two pieces of Window Sheet together with my Snow Scenes images,

Ice Stampin' Glitter and Snowflake Sequins in-between and then adhered all layers together using Tear and Tape along the edges. A tie of the gorgeous Seaside Spray 1/4" Metallic Ribbon completes the tag.

I have also created a boy and girl Baby's First Christmas card set with the Still Scenes Bundle but substituted the the rocking teddy from the Hoot Hoot Hooray Stamp Set. I sponged a piece of Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper with Blushing Bride for girls and Balmy Blue for boys ink to give me a blue and pink background. The teddy bears are coloured with blends.

Inspire.Create. Stamping Challenges Challenge #053

Hello and welcome I am Karen Farquhar from Australia and thank you for joining me today for Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge #053. Challenge #053 is a Sketch Challenge.

I had a number of cards to create this week so I thought I would use the sketch from the challenge for all of them just to showcase the versatility of our Stampin' Up! products.

My first card is a very simple Christmas card. To create it I chose to gold emboss the 3 ornaments from the Christmas Gleaming Stamp Set. This set coordinates with the Gleaming Ornaments Punch. As you may be able see two of my ornaments where punched out of the front panel and then recessed inside the punched out images and the centre ornament is mounted on Stampin' Dimensionals to give depth and dimension to my card.

The Perfectly Plaid Stamp set was my next choice, with the coordinating Pine Tree Punch, for a card I needed to create for my Stamp-A-Stack class. Same again with this card the little tree is punched out of the front panel then a piece of Wrapped in Plaid DSP is recessed behind the panel to add dimension.

And my third card is for my Granddaughter who made her Confirmation this week. Created with the same sketch but with a portrait orientation using the Hold On To Hope Stamp Set and coordinating Cross of Hope Framelits.

Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges: Challenge #052

Hello and welcome I am Karen Farquhar from Australia and thank you for joining me today for Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge #052.

Challenge #052 is a Colour Challenge using the colours Coastal Cabana, Melon Mambo and Gorgeous Grape so pretty together.

I chose the Sip Sip Hooray Bundle for Challenge #052 as this week my daughter-in law celebrated her Birthday and I thought the cocktail glasses from the Sip Sip Hooray matched perfectly with the cocktail gasses I gave her as a gift.

Do you have friends who appreciate a cool summer drink or a New Year toast? This set is a must for your wish list.

Perfect for engagement, wedding and New Year champagne toasts or birthday cocktails. This two step stamp set with its coordinating framelits allows you to add layer and extra texture to your images.

Of course when you have all the supplies out on your craft table you just have to whip up a couple of coordinating gift tags.Thank you for visiting me today. Please, you are more than welcome to enter your projects for the Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges
